Requires DOH to develop Statewide Emergency Medical Services Plan.

S 1416 requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to create and regularly update a comprehensive Statewide Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Plan. The plan must assess current EMS resources and effectiveness, set performance goals to improve access and response times, and include regional strategies developed with county health boards. It mandates specific actions like developing metrics for service quality, expanding paramedic training in underserved areas, and coordinating with hospitals and medical organizations. The DOH must review and update the plan every three years and make it publicly available online, directly affecting how emergency care is organized across the state.
